You mean so much to me

To my favorite band, Real Friends -

I get to see you live for the first time in a month and I can't explain how excited I am.

I have followed your music for a few years now, and I never understood why people cry when they meet their favorite musicians - but I'd be lying if I said I won't cry when I see you perform the songs that touched me so deeply live.

Your music has helped me through every break-up, every bad day, every life crisis, and it's helped me feel happy during times I didn't think I could feel happy again.

When I lost my hair to alopecia, your music was something I turned to when I started to feel down on myself.

The first song I ever heard of yours was "Dirty Water", and I'm pretty sure everyone was ready to strangle me because of how much I played that song. I mean, they probably still do with how much I play your music.

It's hard for me to be really sappy, but I am so grateful for you, your talent, and your passion for music. You are one of the few bands that are making music for the right reasons. I haven't even met you and I know you are all so genuine and kind - thank you for that.

Thank you for making my car ride music when I drive home from college, thank you for being my company when I'm having boy drama, thank you for music that makes my happy life even happier.

I didn't know that music or a band could ever affect me this much, but you have.

Keep making music, and please don't ever change. You hold a very special place in my heart and I cannot wait to see what you'll do in the future.

I'll see you on November 16th, and I promise to sing along extra loud.

Sincerely your forever fan,

Sarah

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
